It's been my experience in following the topic for decades, the UFO phenomenon is like religion and requires a certain element of faith. Until you
experience one first-hand, all the videos lean either towards misidentification, or hoax, or, if you're a believer, then you won't have to seen any
videos to keep believing, so, it doesn't matter.

I've yet to see a UFO myself. I'm also quite familiar with the sky and what's in it, and it seems the more familiar one is with the stars,
planets, satellites, and different air craft, the less likely one is to ever see a UFO.

With everyone having a camera now a days...like on a phone...and the invention of the internet and YouTube any time someone sees something in the sky
that's obviously not a known plane then it must be a UFO. SO YouTube, then ATS becomes overwhelmed with videos of things which we see every day, but
catching a .04 second glimpse of it on youtube makes it a UFO. Like a bug.

Those which are actual planes which are known to exist are still filmed and they usually end up in the chemtrails forums.

The proof is out there. I honestly doubt we will stumble across it on YouTube or wherever on the internet now. But it is there.

think..film school assignment, to make a plausible short film in a effort to make the viewer believe that they did see a ufo, since finished film is
actually compiled many times out of film shots that are out of sequence

that's how we end up with all these superstitious film flooding YouTube, the assignments are to make a YouTube video and to first see how many views
it garnishes, and also how the viewer perceives its plausibility.

Well, I've already explained in detail a camera-control system capable of capturing the real thing simultaneously from three angles with tracking
data stamped on every frame to produce scientifically valid, debunkproof, zoomed footage, to be operated by volunteers with their own equipment. But
it would take a serious team effort and lots on patience. But then, that would spoil the fun, wouldn't it.

I think we should adapt a rule on ufo sightings posted: If it just shows some "lights in the sky", it should not be permitted. We have plenty of
those already, most of which have been shown to be hoaxes, window reflections, sun dogs etc. They are simply too easy to fake. In order for a UFO vid
to qualify here, it should fulfill certain criteria such as

1. Reference points must be present.
2. Contours of the object must be present, and not just "light contours" but something more.
3. Movement of the object must be seen to exceed the laws of physics or at least, seem unconventional. Something that just hoovers or "floats with
the wind" should not be permitted.
4. No added soundtrack, we need the pure original audio, to make better judgements.

The red one is inside the translucent white one at the beginning and near the end the red one is separate.
Its 20 minutes of sighting with analysis added It was quite the rage here at ATS and several people did motion stabalizations

There were videos that had lots of information of them being hoaxes, but the hoaxers had them taken down for copyright infringement. However a lot of
information was saved in the above topic and other topics.

Here is the latest video though about them all being made by film students and teachers.

Best of luck though!

Yes and like religion that faith is a bit misguided as how many videos have you seen were it is a plane,bird.insect,lantern etc etc so how many people
are convinced they have seen a ufo and all the have seen is one of the items listed or another none ufo reason .

The other thing is when people think have seen one they hate it being debunked and it doesn't matter how much proof they are given they would rather
cling to their religion sorry ufo!

I think that the term "UFO" is old hat. A UFO is as easy as me throwing a hub cap into the air and calling it a UFO. I think if people are looking for
UFOs of ET origin that they need to be called "UAV" or something more appropriate since the UFO term has a broader scope.
